The Queen's Beggar's Wife

"Empress, empress, please wait for this servant!" Seeing Chu Yueyin walking straight into the imperial garden, Zixia quickly chased after her.

Chu Yueyin slowed down, waiting for her to follow.

"Empress, the sun is too hot, you wait here, Zixia will go back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning immediately and bring a paper umbrella."

"Okay, you go get the umbrella. I'll walk slowly, and you will catch up in a while." Chu Yueyin watched Zixia leave in a hurry, walked quickly to the Palace of Compassion, turned her head and walked along the cobbled road. The path entered the imperial garden.

While walking, Chu Yueyin admired the scenery in the imperial garden, pavilions, towers, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and unconsciously went deep into the imperial garden.I don't know if it was because it was close to noon, but she walked for a long time without seeing a single person.

Tired from walking, Chu Yueyin found a gazebo to sit down, looked at the white stone road outside the gazebo and sighed softly.She underestimated the power of the autumn tiger. Just as Zixia said, the place without the shade of the tree really gets very hot.After walking a long way, she was tired and thirsty. She stretched her neck and looked towards the end of the path, but she couldn't see Zixia.

Only now did Chu Yueyin know that the imperial garden was not too big or small, and it looked not far from Kunning Palace, but the road was winding and winding, and it was a bit hard to tell the direction when walking.

She hesitated, should she continue walking, or should she sit in the pavilion and wait for Zixia to come to find her?

A gust of cool wind blew gently, Chu Yueyin smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, and immediately remembered what Concubine Li Xian had said earlier that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden were in full bloom.She happily stood up from the stone bench, and searched for the scent of flowers.Instead of waiting here, it is better to go to enjoy the flowers first.

After turning a corner, Chu Yueyin found a not-so-small garden.

"It turns out that this place is called 'Chrysanthemum Garden'." She looked up at the two simple characters engraved on the gate of the garden, talking to herself, and walked in without stopping.

There are many kinds of chrysanthemums planted in the chrysanthemum garden, including yellow chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, pink chrysanthemums, and black chrysanthemums...they are graceful and graceful, and they bloom extremely gorgeously in the sun.

Chu Yueyin didn't understand chrysanthemums, but she was also firmly attracted by these colorful chrysanthemums. She looked at them one by one, feeling refreshed and happy, and couldn't bear to look away.

Suddenly, she smelled a fragrance, and couldn't help taking a deep breath. It wasn't the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of tea, or her favorite jasmine tea.She turned around happily and looked back, thinking that this girl Zixia was really clever, and not only came over with a paper umbrella, but also brought tea.However, the road when we came was empty, and there was no little girl in a light pink palace dress.

Chu Yueyin was stunned. Could it be that she was too thirsty and had hallucinations?However, the tea fragrance was still so real, as if someone was waiting for her with a pot of thirst-quenching jasmine tea not far away.

She looked around, and finally found the clue: under a dense tree four or five feet away, there was a light blue figure.The man sat with his back to her, looking at his graceful movements, he seemed to be brewing tea.The fragrance of tea came from that direction.

Chu Yueyin walked over and asked behind him: "This tea is really fragrant! I wonder if you can buy me some tea?"

Hearing her voice, the young man in blue paused, then put down the teapot in his hand, stood up slowly, turned around and bowed in salute.

"Huangfuyan has met the empress!"

It turned out to be him!Chu Yueyin was secretly surprised, she did not expect to meet Huangfuyan here.She stood there in a daze, forgetting the proper etiquette for a moment, until another man's rough and loud voice came from beside her.

"Sun Jun met the empress!"

She heard the sound and looked to the side, and saw the man who called himself "Sun Jun" staring at her with dissatisfaction, she suddenly woke up, and quickly saluted Huangfuyan.

"Young Master Huangfu is polite!" Chu Yueyin smiled wryly in her heart, she didn't mean to neglect Huangfuyan, and made him salute for so long, she just got distracted inexplicably.

Huangfuyan stood up straight as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care about her "neglect".

Seeing Huangfuyan's indifferent expression, Chu Yueyin was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.Although the two have met several times, thinking about it carefully, they have never talked to each other. It can be said that they know each other or they don't know each other.

Huangfu Yan broke the silence first, and said calmly: "Since the empress came here for tea, if you don't dislike it, how about drinking tea with Yan?"

"Okay! My favorite is jasmine tea."

"That's such a coincidence, the tea that Yan made today is jasmine tea, please let the empress appreciate his handicraft." Huangfu Yan turned sideways and gracefully made an inviting gesture.

Only then did Chu Yueyin see clearly that there was a round stone table behind him, and four stone benches were placed beside it.At this time, there was a blue and white teapot and two blue and white teacups on the stone table.The teacup was already filled with tea, and it was exuding a faint aroma.

As Chu Yueyin walked towards the stone table, she thought to herself: Who was he drinking tea with before she arrived?Is it Sun Jun, the bodyguard standing beside him at this time?

Huangfuyan followed her gaze to the teacup on the table, realized something was wrong, and quickly said to the guard beside him: "Sun Jun, go back to Yihexuan immediately to change a new teacup."

Sun Jun was startled, but then he came to his senses, picked up the teacup opposite Huangfuyan, poured some tea on it, and quickly ran towards Yihexuan with lightness kung fu.

As expected, he was drinking tea with Sun Jun just now.Chu Yueyin confirmed her guess, walked to the seat opposite Huangfuyan and sat down.

Huangfuyan also sat down, looked at her and asked indifferently: "Didn't the Empress go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager? Why are you enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden alone?"

"I just came out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I originally planned to go back to Kunning Palace directly through the imperial garden. I didn't expect to be attracted by the scent of chrysanthemums and came to the chrysanthemum garden. I didn't expect to smell the fragrance of jasmine tea here. It's Mr. Huangfu."

Huangfuyan's eyes flickered, and he asked again: "Where are the maids beside the Empress?"

"Zixia went back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to get the umbrella. Bengong entered the garden by herself. She is probably on her way here at this time." Chu Yueyin suddenly thought of something, and said anxiously, "Oh no, she didn't know that Bengong would come Po, I'm afraid they are looking for me everywhere!"

She should have said goodbye to Huangfuyan immediately and went to find Zixia, but why she didn't want to leave, was it because of the fragrant jasmine tea?

Huang Fuyan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said: "Zixia is more familiar with the road of the imperial garden than the empress. It is much easier for her to find the empress than it is for the empress to find her. The empress should stay here at ease, drinking tea while Wait for her."

"Young Master Huangfu is right. I lost my way just now. But now that I think about it, getting lost also has its benefits. Not only did I see unexpected scenery, but I also saw unexpected things..." She almost blurted out "You" came out, but fortunately it stopped in time.She smiled uncomfortably at Huangfuyan, then turned to look at the blooming chrysanthemums beside her.

The moment she turned her head, Huangfuyan's expression suddenly became a little strange, but he quickly returned to his usual expression.
